Quilting Cost Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Quilting Cost (QC) is:

\[ \text{QC} = \text{QA} \times \text{CPSI} \]

Where:

$\text{QC}$ is the Quilting Cost ($)
$\text{QA}$ is the total quilt area (in²)
$\text{CPSI}$ is the cost per square inch ($/in²)

What is Quilting Cost?

The quilting cost is the total expense incurred to create a quilt based on its area and the cost of materials per square inch. This metric is essential for quilters to estimate the cost of materials for a project and set appropriate prices for their handmade quilts.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Quilt Area (QA) = 2000 in²
Cost Per Square Inch (CPSI) = $0.05/in²

Using the formula:

\[ \text{QC} = 2000 \times 0.05 = 100 \]

The Quilting Cost (QC) is $100.
